It’s easy to look “fine” when someone is rolling slow rollers at you or hitting fungos. The real tests will come in Grapefruit League games next month.

Cabrera has never had a reputation as a strong defender, earning all his worth with his bat. In more than 3,000 innings at third base, most with the Florida Marlins from 2003-07, Cabrera has a minus-30 Defensive Runs Saved mark and a minus 10.0 Ultimate Zone Rating.

At first base, where Cabrera has spent the past four seasons, he is at minus-21 DRS and minus 10.5 UZR.

Simply put, DRS and UZR are defensive metrics that use runs to rate players as above or below average in the field.
